At the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939, the Air Ministry was
created and, on 7 October of that year, the Spanish Air Force, or
Ej rcito del Aire (EdA), was born. Starting life from the ashes of
conflict, it has grown to become on of the most important air
forces in Europe. To date, there have not been many books published
about the history of the EdA, an oversight this volume seeks to
redress. Illustrated with over 200 stunning photographs of bombers,
fighters, transport, reconnaissance, attack, liaison and trainer
aircraft, along with seaplanes and helicopters, taken over several
decades, this book covers the history and aircraft of the EdA from
its inception to the present day. The many aircraft detailed
include the Fiat Cr.32, Ju 52 and Bf 109 from the early days
through to the A400M Atlas, F-18 Hornet and Eurofighter EF2000
currently flown.
The actions of the German armoured forces during the Second World
War is well known. What has not yet been so well told are the
actions of the armoured forces from Germany's allies. While it is
true that their performance was generally quite secondary in
comparison to the Reich,the actions of the Hungarian armoured
forces should be highlighted. Hungary not only managed to organize
its armoured forces, but developed its own military industry that
was able to supply weapons and equipment to its troops. The
Hungarian military was able to produce all kinds of weapons,
vehicles and armoured vehicles, although they were generally
under-gunned and under-armoured. This book rescues Hungary's
participation during the Second World War from oblivion through the
use of superb photographs, which take the reader from the beginning
of the USRR campaign and the conquest of Soviet lands, before
ending with the bloody battles to avoid the Soviet and Romanian
advance into Hungary (the Siege of Budapest) and the last clashes
in Austrian and Slovenian territory before the army's unconditional
surrender. The author highlights the bravery and courage of these
men, as well as the terrible fate of the Hungarian armoured forces
when the Soviet Army invaded Hungary.
This book presents current research in the psychology of war.

envelopes of the child in the experience of war and the psychic
construction of Jewish children hidden in France during the
